LOL - it is working great for me. I’m not the one having a problem with my position. Seems to me that it is the moderates and RINOs who seem to have a problem with my position because they were counting on me holding my nose and supporting their candidate.
When there is so little difference between Obama and Romney on the issues that matter to me, then the best choice is minimize the amount of time either candidate has in office. 4 more years of Obama vs 8 years of Romney. 4 more years of fast socialism or 8 years of slow socialism.
I would rather the 4 with principled opposition in the House and Senate that 8 years of slow socialism and see the redefining of what it means to be a conservative.
A little better. Slow socialism vs fast socialism is a better analogy than Gumby’s tigers. And it is not, as folks would have us believe, the Executive branch that can stave off socialism, it is, as you seem to be able to see, a function of the Legislative branch to control not just the purse but the bureaucracy, which they have abdicated.
The Executive is the Commander-in-Chief, first and foremost, according to the constitution. I vote for the person who will do the least harm in that capacity. Next, and this is more a present day necessity, is the person who will do less harm in judicial appointments.
Would I prefer Alito over O’Connor? Sure. But I’d prefer O’Connor over Souter. And Souter over Ginsburg. I don’t like my choices, but those ARE my choices.
I was told the same thing about McCain - there’s so little difference. Really? Then seriously, push the button for Obama, because anything else has the same effect.
Perot 2012!
